Celebrating Talk Like a Pirate Day The Project Life Way

Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day. To celebrate I thought I would share a sneak book into one of my scrapbooks. I have been playing around with jewelry findings, vintage embroidered table cloths and of course Aleene's Tacky Glue.

I have been playing around with Project Life pages. However, in true Jennifer Perkins fashion I have put my own spin on things. I don't do the pages in terms of a week, instead I tend to do them in theme. The theme of this page was pirates.

I was inspired by a vintage embroidered tablecloth I had picked up at a thrift store. I had appliqued one of the ships on a onesie for a friend. I looked at the remaining ships and wondered if I could applique them into my scrapbook. Why yes, you can. I used Aleene's Tacky Glue Sheets in place of fusible web to get a nice smooth bump free adhesion of the fabric to paper.

I may not make jewelry as much as I used to, but I still have plenty of jewelry findings in my stash. Lately I have been incorporating them into my scrapbook layouts. Something heavy like these vintage pirate ship cameos call for a stronger glue. I went with straight up old school Aleene's Tacky Glue and those suckers have not budged once.

I love the way the page turned out. Pirate ships and pools make for a great combo. How did you celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day? Looking for more ideas? Stop by BlogHer and check out more suggestions. Want to see more sneak peaks into my scrap/smash books? Click here.

Look at the millions of cheap and nasty watches there are out there in the replica watches place, they are not worth the time and effort of putting them on your wrist. This is just a couple of aspects of why i despise cheap rubbish. A true watch lover wants something service able and repairable, that can last his whole remaining days on this planet. When paired with the replica watches sale pallet, the rolex replica watches will appeal to enthusiasts such as myself who would love that rolex replica uk watchesmalist look without forking over an exorbitant amount of cash for replica watches uk priced brand. Heck, the names attached to the project got our attention and got us thinking a lot, so it has at least succeeded at the initial hurdle where so many new rolex replica struggle just to be noticed. It like they know their customers have bought the classy dress watch so why not offer them this option as well and keep some market share.
